The Appetizer: The Official Blog of DiningIn

Next Sunday, March 17th, is going to be a big, giant party - full of love, hate, respect, beer, more beer, even more alcohol, and most importantly, food. The 17th marks St. Patrick's Day - formally known as the Feast of Saint Patrick - a cultural and religious holiday that has, for better or worse, become a time of unbeknownst belligerent behavior. However, St. Patrick's Day is supposed to be a feast.

The usual stereotype of eating Corned Beef & Cabbageon Saint Patrick’s Day isn’t quite dead, but the tradition of being the world’s biggest traditionalist and eating that famous dish on St. Patty’s Day is quickly changing – proven through the wide variety of cuisines offered by the Irish restaurants that DiningIn works with.
